Set in the game-rich Lower Zambezi National Park, stylish Potato Bush Camp overlooks the mighty Zambezi River which fans out into a spellbinding mosaic of densely forested islands and channels. Set deep within the reserve, the camp’s closest neighbour is its sister – the celebrated Sausage Tree Camp, so gameviewing experiences in the area feel delightfully exclusive.

The 4 beautifully appointed guest tents nestle beneath spreading shade trees, with a two-bedroom unit designed specifically to accommodate families. Raised boardwalks connect accommodations to the central dining, bar and lounge where meals are served and excursions depart.

Activities at Potato Bush Camp include game drives led by personable, professional guides with the opportunity to explore the park after dark to witness nocturnal species such as pangolin, genet and honey badger. You might even spot lions hunting! The Lower Zambezi is renowned for canoeing so don’t miss this opportunity to drift along admiring birdlife and animals around the water. Walking safaris are also possible – a thrill – whilst boat cruises are a very relaxing means of appreciating a blazing African sunset.

Zambia Overview

Why should I travel to Zambia?
Apart from being the site of the magnificent Victoria Falls, Zambia also offers game-rich wildlife parks that are relatively unspoiled by mass tourism. For the more adventurous, there are walking safaris and canoeing trips along the Zambezi River.

What is the climate like in Zambia?
There are 3 distinct seasons – cool and dry from May-July (23°-25°C) but cold at night, hot and dry from August-October (30°-40°C), and warm and wet from November-April (28°-35°C).

What can I combine Zambia with?
Zambia is best combined with its closest neighbours such as Botswana and Zimbabwe – which both offer amazing scenery and wildlife. South Africa is another option, where you can explore picturesque Cape Town, Table Mountain and the Cape Winelands.

How to get to Zambia?
There are regular flights daily from Johannesburg in South Africa to the Zambian capital of Lusaka, where you can board connecting flights to a range of safari camps. There are also regular flights from Johannesburg into Livingstone, a large town close to the Victoria Falls.

USA – There are no direct flights to Lusaka from the United States. The best connections are via Johannesburg, UAE or Nairobi.

UK/EU – Again there are no direct flights into Lusaka from anywhere in Europe. The best connections are via Johannesburg, UAE or Nairobi.
